Project Basecamp

For many of us, there was no blueprint for how to live.

Marcus talks about growing up in Native communities, inner cities, and communities of color where addiction, incarceration, and generational trauma can leave entire families living in survival mode.

But we get to decide what we carry forward.

We can learn from good people, build healthier connections, take the lessons that helped us, and choose what we want to teach the next generation.

We may not have been given the rubric but we can help create one. ❤️

Drinking became a regular part of his military experience and, over time, something much more serious.

Scottie shares an important perspective on military culture, alcohol, and how something that feels normal can slowly become dependence.

Men in recovery…your story matters. 🎙️

I’m looking for men who are open to sharing their recovery journey—the struggles, the growth, and what life looks like today.

If you’re interested in sharing your story, DM me.

And if you know a man in recovery whose story DESERVES to be heard, please share this with him. 🤍

Some of the hardest things to talk about are often the things we most need to say.

Ruth Riley Ruth Riley shares how healing can begin when we finally speak about our pain. When we keep trauma, hurt, and difficult experiences buried inside, they don’t simply disappear—they can show up in destructive patterns in our lives.

“Secrets make us sick.”

There is power in finding a safe place to speak, be heard, and begin healing. ❤️‍🩹
